Fuddlehead by Fuddlehead, an Autobiography
Published by Peking, China, 1935
Seller: Michael Pyron, Bookseller, ABAA, Conshohocken, PA, U.S.A.
Association Member: ABAA ILAB IOBA
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition Signed
Hard Cover. Condition: near Very Good binding. Octavo. [4], 3, [1], 48 pp., plate. Inscription on the front free endpaper. First edition. As issued, in decorative silk over flexible covers. Covers and contents are a trifle soiled; one dog-eared leaf with small closed tear to the fore-edge margin. An uncommon, humorous autobiography of the American banker and diplomat from the influential Boston family. Fairly rare in commerce, it's hard to imagine the print run of this was anything but small. This copy inscribed: "'Henty' / from his / Grandfather Fuddlehead / July 24 / 1935.".
